They're now on of the biggest computer games publishers in the world, having moved out of the development scene ages ago. I think they are under different management now, but they used to do quite a lot for the BBC back in the early 80's, when I think it was Richard Branson who owned them.

Please contact me if you have any additional information about the company or its games!

In this game you control what seems to be a space ship, and you have to land it on the planet. It is very hard and there are many instruments to check. It isn't really an arcade game, more of a simulation, and as such isn't much fun unless you really like simulations. The graphics are almost non-existent, but they are not essential to this type of game anyway.

An unimaginative shoot-em-up, well shoot-em-ups don't really need to be do they? This time you are a microbe, and have to shoot all the other enemies of it. It is done quite well, the bullets you shoot and the way things explode is very impressive, and makes you want to keep playing, and it is not that bad really. The only bad thing would be that the sound is non-existent! Still doesn't have that essential just one more play feel that all good shoot-em-ups need though.

Another Pengo clone, this is just about the same as every other game, except in this one the Penguin is a lot fatter! The graphics are average, but low-res, which makes it the only detracting factor from this faceless clone. If you want high-res graphics with your Pengo, then go for the Superior Software version.

This is quite an orginal, and good idea. You have to jump down the platforms of the screen which is slowly scrolling upwards, whilst watching out for the meanies and spiders who attack you. You can't jump to a place which has not yet appeared on the screen, if you touch the bottom of the screen you die. It is good fun, but the graphics really stink, but they're not really needed!

Small adventure game, you are stranded at sea and have to get back to your home. Its reminiscent of Gideon's Gamble but not as detailed, it has the same mode 7 teletext pictures though.

A very strange game this, it is totally weird, you are Sinbad the sailor, and have to climb up the rope to the magic carpet, whilst taking care not to fall off when the clouds bump into you. Just because a game is original it doesn't mean it is good ya know! The graphics aren't bad, but I still wouldn't play it!

A rather spartan game, in this you have to find certain objects hidden in the rooms, before your oxygen runs out, and you have to constantly recharge your gun to fight off the monsters who attack you. It is played in a medium res mode, and the playing area is huge. However, there are hardly any good graphics in it, they seem to have been kept to a minimum.

Basically a complete rip off of the Star Wars Trench Run, yuo fly your X-Wing down the trench, avoiding the obstacles and lasers, and try to get to the end so you can blow up the space station. Not very original, not very good, but probably sold bucket loads due to the film.
